    Looks like the family was originally Swiss, but they branched out across Europe and at one time conrtolled many countries including Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Austria, Bohemia and Hungary. They were Catholics.

    Most Austrians & their emporers & family have always been followers of the Roman Catholic religion. There could very well have been some Jewish blood running through their genetics.
